Tamagotchi is actually a "virtual pet"; after travelling millions of light-years through cyberspace" to hatch in its flattened-duck-egg-shaped shell, it immediately starts squeaking and crying for attention from its owner.

(One earth day is equal to about one year for tamagotchi.) However, as soon as one "wakes up" his or her tamagotchi "from its million light-year sleep by removing the insulating sheet", constant attention has to be given to the tamagotchi (Bandai 1996).
